Synopsis:
While chasing a crook, Batman and Robin are transported to another dimension. Batman learns that a man there, Rakk, is fixing an athletic competition, so he enters the contest himself. When he defeats Rakk, Batman is crowned King of Plaxius and removes his mask.

Gurney, the fleeing crook, is also in Plaxius. He tells Rakk of Batman’s origins, which allows Batman to be dethroned. The Caped Crusader is then imprisoned, but Selina, the girlfriend of the local champion, Vol, frees him. Together they rescue Vol and defeat Rakk. Batman returns to Earth with Gurney who knows Batman’s secret identity. However, upon their return, all memories of the experience in the other dimension are lost.
